That's probably because lots of texts were used to configure the tracker. Text rate is $0.05/text. And if you do voice surveillance as well, the voice rate is $0.05/minute.
Other than that, if you do tracking only, $10 is more than enough for 3 months because H2O data rate is $0.10/MB and the tracker would use only 20~30MB per month which is less than $3.

You are right. No text is needed after initial configuration but you might need text for troubleshooting in case tracking stopped.
Data is the only required plan for tracking to work. Our site doesn't rely on SMS therefore you can just pay $4/month for data and line fee.

It looks like US Mobile charges a $2/month fee, plus $2/month per feature subject to limits (text, data). The initial monthly cost would be $6 as the $2 + $2 text + $2 data. However, once I've configured the tracker using SMS commands during the first month, couldn't I just do data only the following months, making the rate $4/month? At 100 mb a month, the tracker could report as often as every 20 seconds and include OBD data, right?

Or does accutracking.com rely on some SMS functionality?

Lastly, the name-calling and expletives are emotional responses and unecessary.
Good Luck !

Does it make me a bad person if I really want to correct your grammar?
